A useful context menu item that celverly breaks a textbox up into separated paragraphs inside an auto layout, allowing the user to easilly add content like images etc into a website flow, also making inporting body copy much easier.

Hi Everyone… This is something I came across lately. If you set a master component to reveal the properties of a nested components, it works well until, in the instance, you swap the nested component ( which has indeed a swap instance property ). If you do so, exposed nested component properties disappear. It would be good if the instance retains the ‘expose nested property’ setting even if you swap the nested component. Whatever property the swapped nested component has, it shows if the ‘expose nested property’ setting is ON. I hope it makes sense? Thanx!

Hello there, Figma! Can you do us designers a solid 😉 and let us save our font preferences for those pesky missing fonts? 🥴 … We’d love to see what you have in store for us, Figma! 🎩✨ If you’re in agreement, give your vote to save the designers’ precious time! 😀 👩‍💻👨‍💻👩‍💻👨‍💻👩‍&#1

Hello, if we want to use variables and modes to handle UI themes, we should be able to set them everywhere we can set a color. As requested in other topics, we can’t set variables as gradients steps and we can’t also set color variables as shadows. This prevents any try to switch to variables since no one wants to use half colors as variables and half colors as styles.

When entering a srries of variables on the same subject it would be saving time if you could use the tab to switch from name to value, then the enter to switch to the next one of the same variable type. (or as today the tab brings to create variable you could at least allow the keyboard selection of the type)

When you hover over a value, sometimes your cursor turns into a slider. From there you can click and drag and change the values intuitively instead of having to type out the numbers. On the numeric inputs with big labels, there isn’t much of a problem. But when there are no labels to hover over, the area that detects a hover is so small that its really frustrating to nail it on the first try. Here is a video demonstration of the frustration: Does anyone even use the slider function or am I the only one? It’s super useful in my opinion. I don’t have to type the numbers and I can just approximately size it instead. For anyone who have used Blender, a better implementation of the cursor slider is basically what I’m asking for. What do you think?

When presenting ideas, it would be helpful to have a keyboard shortcut to jump to the next section in FigJam. Similar to the keyboard shortcut “N” in Figma to jump to the next frame.

Prior to color variables being introduced all of our design system colors were saved as styles in our shared library. Now with the introduction of color variables, it seems style usage is shifting to be meant for multiple color fills and other more complex fills. For simple, single color fills, Figma recommends we use color variables (this is based on the tooltip in the style picker, but doesn’t seem to be reflected in the official documentation yet). My team has added all of our design system colors as color variables, but now in the style picker there are two sets of colors, first all of our new color variables, then all of our legacy styles. We’d like to delete the legacy styles so there is just one set of colors for our designers to choose from, however deleting a style detaches all of the instances of that style across text, shapes, frames, etc. So that is not a viable option since all of the existing colors across our teams design files will become out of sync with our

right now a stroke is added to the png bounding box rather than the contents while in Sketch and photoshop you can add it to the outline of the contents. Can we bring that (even as an option) to Figma?

It would be good if Figma has a visibility toggle for the variables. It helps to identify duplicate values and makes creating/deleting/simplifying variables workflow faster.

Teams contain projects, but this relationship is not visualized clearly in the Home page because the style and layout of projects is the very same as those of teams (except for the little rectangle): The information hierarchy should be clear, e.g. like this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/controls/images/treeview-icons.png

Hey there! I noticed when you’re applying variables to an object property, the variables list doesn’t seem to be sorted in any way. I’ve uploaded a screenshot showing how my variables are set (on an external file), and the dropdown list when I’m trying to apply it to the gap of an auto-layout container.

Browsing files is such a pain. The customizable left sidebar just pushes the responsibility for file management on the user and doesn’t even give them the proper tools to actually manage files. Filtering and customizing collections is fine, but there needs to be an easy way to see the whole world, organized in a nested hierarchy. Too many weird concepts and got’chas. I’m always worried there’s a file hiding somewhere because I’m missing some distinction between a ‘section’ and a ‘project’ or whatever. I constantly flail around trying to navigate the company/team/project/section scheme. Just please give us folders, both above and below the project level, so we can place projects in folders, and we can create folders inside of projects to organize the files within them.

I would love the ability to add sections (like in FigJam) but, in a Figma design file.

What would be great is the option for designers to opt in to use tailwindcss values by default and the possibility of devs to easily export the html markup with the tailwind classes already on it as it would greatly boost productivity and make the overall process even better.

When user does something in the plugin UI and then wants to undo it, it breaks the flow when Cmd/Ctrl + Z doesn’t work. Even I sometimes try to press it and nothing is happening, this makes me frustrated as a pro plugin and Figma user. Currently you can implement undo manually by detecting the shortcut and communicating the undo action to the plugin backend — that’s not too hard. But things quickly become complicated if you want Redo to also function (since it’s not available in the API, you’ll have to build your own undo/redo queue). And then other shortcuts can be used by users in different contexts too. It would create a good user experience if you can trigger shortcuts in Figma, either by passing them from the user action event somehow or by simply manually triggering them (the latter would also open up a lot of other possibilities). In a similar way, it would be great if a plugin can get shortcuts when the plugin window is not in focus. This would create a

It’s now possible to install an “App Clip” without going to the App Store. For remote user testing, this could be awesome if Figma Mirror could be extended to work with Clips. I could then send a link or QR code, and get my remote user to test the design without the browser nav that is current situation with link sharing. Hope that makes sense? 🥸

I use Timely to track my time on Figma. This has done wonders for me. It can track everything. But it is only tracking in which Figma file I’m currently working - not the page name inside that file. It could be useful if I could toggle this simple ability - so my tracking software could read the tab and get better tracking. Thanks,

As a designer, I need a true read-only share (no ability to comment and input nay information) so that developers working on snesitive project can be allowed to view Figma projects without a concern that sensitive data or information might be brought back through Figma (specifically comment feature being disabled).

Please allow us to attach comments to a specific element. Otherwise, the comments can appear nonsensical because Figma is not aware of the state of the prototype when the comment is made.

Figma should create a course on Organising our designs like frames, components and pages, as many of the designer struggle with organising their designs.

Every time I come to a topic here about an issue I am having, I see that the topic is closed after a few days, even though the issue is not fixed at all. One good example is this one: Search results are not precise - we get 'similar words' instead of exact match The component search logic is simply terrible, and throws dozens of results when I do a simple icon search with a name like SORT. If Figma keeps these topics open, it will help us to vote and show that many people are having this issue.

Hello, guys. Hope you are well. I use math on my designs at Figma everyday, specially the useful feature of inputting arithmetic math on the properties values. Example: Width = (80 * 2) + 8. The things is, in Auto layout both Horizontal and Vertical padding, I can’t do the math by adding spaces between the values an operator. Example: “80 + 2”. Instead, it only works with the operator close to the values. Example: “80+2”. This is not a big ideal in my everyday work, but i think it would be nice to have this way of inputting the values, as it already works with the properties Width, Height, and such 😁

Everything is in the title

The recent section never shows ‘recent’ files. I can never find the files I was working on yesterday or day before. I would like the recent section to show files in order of most recently opened to the old file. I dont know why I cant see the names of files as well. I would like to see the files in the order I had closed them. Meaning - if I closed a file just now, it shows up as the first thumbnail. This thumbnail shows the screen area where I was working or stopped working at - this thumbnail becomes the first file, at the top left corner in the grid. the file that I had opened and closed before this one, will be the second file in the grid. So probably yesterday’s file will be in the second row may be… that way I can quickly find files easily.
